I believe your ancestor was Ho'opi'i Kekahuna the son of Beranaba Palenapa Kekahuna. There may be a connection to us through my 2nd Great Grandmother her name was Hamole, I believe she may have been a Kekahuna.

I am the great-great granddaughter of Antone & Rose Kailikea Marciel. My great grandfather Joseph Marciel used to accommodate and host a great deal of 'ohana and friends like Kenneth Emory and Bishop Allencastre.

Mahalo for visiting the Koa Tree, Kaho'opi'i is our original family name. As the family grew our ancestors began using the name "Ho'opi'i" as an individual name for their children. My Great Grandfather was originally named Ho'opi'i Nohua. Later "Bernard Palenapa" was added and the Nohua was taken away. The same thing happened with your ancestor, his original name was "Ho'opi'i Naniho".

| Comments: | Hello, my name is Brooke Marinas and I am interested in learning more about the Haupu family. We may be related, for my grandmother Margaret Haupu daughter of Peter Haupu and Helen Kamilla Hoopii of Hana, Maui may be the connection. You see we were never able to find our family from that side. We know of them amd met some of her brothers and sisters at her funeral but what we long for is a reconnection with them. To learn more of that side of the family. Please if it's possible email me as soon as you can so we can learn more about our families. Thank you |
